Can i send a magnet via 1st class media mail

According to the United States Postal Service (USPS), magnets are considered "non-mailable" items when sent via Media Mail, which is a cost-effective way to send books, sound recordings, and other media items.

The USPS has specific guidelines for what types of items can be sent via Media Mail, and magnets are not included in that list. In fact, the USPS states that "magnets, including refrigerator magnets, are not mailable via Media Mail."

However, you can still send a magnet via First-Class Mail, which is a more expensive option. The cost will depend on the weight and size of the magnet, as well as the destination.

Here are some general guidelines for sending a magnet via First-Class Mail:

• Weight: If the magnet weighs 1 ounce or less, it will be considered a letter and will cost $0.55 to send.
• Size: If the magnet is larger than a standard letter (up to 11.5 inches long, 6.125 inches high, and 0.25 inches thick), it will be considered a package and will require a larger envelope or box.
• Cost: If the magnet weighs more than 1 ounce, it will be considered a package and will require a larger envelope or box. The cost will depend on the weight and size of the package.

Keep in mind that the USPS has specific regulations for sending magnets, including requirements for packaging and labeling. You can find more information on the USPS website or by contacting your local post office.
